Making "Alapaha" a Household Name

[SisMorphine]

Well . . . sorta. LMAO!

Teeny earned her PSA1 today!

First Alapaha to earn a PSA title (she was second to earn the PDC, which is a certificate). She also earned "with distinction" (meaning she did really well) in one of the bitework scenarios (attack on handler) AND she also won second place in the tournament portion . . . and was the only bulldog competing against swamp collies in the 1's today.

I couldn't be any more proud of her. I just adore this dog and I know it's mighty arrogant but I LOVE the fact that we just keep making history within the breed and the sports that we compete in. I'm proud to be a part of this whole thing, and at the same time it seems completely surreal!

Love my Teeny Beans <3

 

[elegy]

you guys BOTH rock!

but why oh why are there no pictures or videos??!

 

[Izzy's Valkyrie]

Woot! Yay for you and your awesome dogs

 

[CharlieDog]

Congrats!!

(What's a swamp collie??)

 

[SisMorphine]

Elegy: That would be because I'm the only one who seems to take pics and vid and with my broken computer (so I can't unload my camera) I am stuck. I think my friend took pics, we'll see . . .

CharlieDog: Swamp Collies are usually Mals or Dutchies. I always forget that it's a local term. LOL!!

 

[Doberluv]

Stupendous! No wonder you're proud. Congratulations!

 

[mrose_s]

Thats awesome, it would be awesome to be part of the start of a breed like that.

I have to ask though, is Alapaha pronounced like its spelt? Where did the name come from?

 

[SisMorphine]

A-lap-a-ha. Just as it's spelled. It's a region (river) in Georgia, where they were first created. Weird name, I know

 

[Jules]

AWESOME!!! That is a VERY good reason to be arrogant and proud! I am thrilled for both of you!

 

[mrose_s]

Thanks Sis, I've always wondered for when I mention them to people, wanted to make sure I was saying it right.
Have they exported to any other countries yet?

 

[SisMorphine]

There have been some exported (from the OTHER type of Alapaha) to a kennel in England, but as far as I know that's been it.

 

[Linds]

Awesome! Very cool! I always like hearing about off breeds beating some Mal butt and it's especially fun when it's a bulldog breed

 

[JennSLK]

Whats the other type?


Way to go Team Teeny

Like the guy in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil said, "it' ain't braggin' if you really done it."

Oh, and remember, we love Miss Teenykins too (and Blue Cratebane too) and could stand some pics and vids of them from time to time???

 

[CharlieDog]

AHHH, I was thinking swamp collies were GSD's for whatever reason. And google failed me, it just kept bringing up kennels for Goldens, lmao.

That's awesome! I wish I could do Schutzhund with my GSD boy (TEN DAYS!!!) but for legal reasons, we're forgoing bite training.

 

[stafinois]

Whoa!!! HUGE congrats!!!

BTW, I

the term "Swamp Collie."

 

[Grab]

Yay Teeny! Definitely something to be proud of

I don't always catch everything..do you still have Isis?

 

[SisMorphine]

Thanks everyone! Here I posted a couple of pics in this thread.

Renee I know I know! Trust me I would like pictures and video of my OWN dogs. Unfortunately I'm having computer issues and until I have the money to get it fixed then I can't take anything off of my camera

Grab, I rehomed Isis back in the spring as she was not going to make the cut for the breeding program. She now lives with a relative of one of my employees and I get to see her from time to time. She is doing great and I swear that mini-Alapaha hasn't grown an ounce since I sent her off. LOL!

 

[smkie]

Congrats. Teeniy is magnificent.

 

[Barb04]

Teeny has come so far; so proud of this girl.
